qveaurich, I saw Snyder for the first time on CNBC the night of Q's earnings report with the moronic comments about Nokia's penetration of CDMA. I think he gets invited back because CNBC is primarily about entertainment, and boy does he get a visceral reaction from we QCOM holders. Kind of like the kid who only gets attention from his parents when he starts making pen marks on the wall, putting the cat in the microwave etc....

Oh "qveau"--EXCELLENT!

I don't think I've read a better rant in ages.

I blame Snyder for almost having bankrupted me in 2000. I still believe QCOM is a phenomenal company. But I basically lost my life savings last year based on that belief. Vindictive jerks such as Ed drove QCOM down to being almost a "value" stock.

I have never understood what drives Snyder. There must be woman "higher up" at Qualcomm who scorned him. What astonishes me, though, is the credibilty CNBC offers him. It only confirms for me that CNBC is an amateurish outfit.

Most people in this world look for things to support. Imagine asking someone, "What's your favorite baseball team?" I'd be perplexed by a response such as, "I hate the Yankees!"

Snyder's behavior is strange. But CNBC giving him the "mike" is even stranger.

On TV if someone says "X" it is felt that it is necessary to have some one else say "not-X." It's their way of being "fair" and also not having to worry about being sued for leading anyone astray. So if you become known for always saying the same thing about the same subject it makes their life that much easier. They probably always call him when they need "balance."
